Kate Meads was recently labelled New Zealand's own waste free warrior and is a very humorous and motivating speaker.
Drawing from her own experiences as a typical modern day consumer Kate shares her stories
and insights to create a greater awareness of the choices we are making and the impacts they are having.
If we all do nothing because it seems like we
are not making a difference, nothing will ever
change and we have to question what legacy
will we leave our future generations.
